Educators Guides
WOW! The Wonders of Wetlands
With 70 pages of background material followed by more than 40 cross-referenced activities, this guide is a valuable resource for K to 12 teachers. Every page is thoughtfully laid out with informative text, stunning photography, along with easy-to-read sidebars, maps and illustrations. Activities are neatly organized into five sections: wetlands definitions, wetlands plants and animals, water quality and supply issues, soils and people. The appendix also provides instructions for planning and developing a schoolyard wetland habitat.

About the Program
Many people are unaware of the tremendous value wetlands provide to the environment.
To conserve these valuable habitats, Ducks Unlimited and Project WET partnered in 2005 to reach children with wetlands education, instilling an appreciation for these special places. This will enable today’s children – tomorrow’s conservation leaders – to make informed decisions about wetlands conservation.
